About this work

Pedestal in the form of a cartouche. On it a medallion with on the front the portrait of Marco Barbarigo. On the back a rectangular temple and a round temple on a hill. The pedestal is flanked by two female personifications. On the left Benevolence dressed in a dress full of stars. She squeezes milk from her breasts to feed animals. Next to her stands a burning altar. The woman on the right is the personification of Open-heartedness. In one hand she holds a burning lantern. In the other hand a heavily damaged mask. She also stands on several masks. The print is part of an album.
